BROOKS CAMPAGNOLO COMPETITION SPECIAL SADDLE - the saddle¹s leather has extensive surface cracks but there are no serious pulls from the rivets or structural cracks to the leather - it is a good riding saddle.

It was only available for a few years so is now really rather rare. $85 See pictures at http://images.andale.com/f2/118/129/2070911/1079920912337_Brooks_Campag_sadd le.jpg
